Your book was fantastic! I stayed up two nights reading it! So I'm thrilled to hear you're working on another one. Can't wait to read it! I wrote a review on Amazon for you.

Can't wait to hold the Swedish edition in my hands.

I probably have to buy that one too! <br /><br />Yesterday I got my translation back from the editor so now I will try to make it as perfect in Swedish as I can. :) I hope the Swedes will love it just as much as I do, or else they are swedes. (I hope that came out as I intended - as a vegetable joke!!!)<br /><br />About multi-tasking ... If living in two different worlds at the same time (reality/novel) isn't multi-tasking, then what is? I hope to one day write my own novel (so far I have 5 chapters) but in the meantime I'm happy to translate such amazing books as yours!<br /><br />Lots of love and many hugs from GabriellaGabriellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808832573211319495.post-86274220876516208612012-11-24T19:35:31.304-08:002012-11-24T19:35:31.304-08:00Oh how I loved this book!

I would have liked to hear you speak specifically about your publishing journey but Shannon organized a girls trip to hear Barbara Kingsolver at WFC and that's where I was. Please keep posting your appearances on FB so I can catch you next time. I want to get you to sign a copy of your paperback so I can give it to my critique partner as a 40th B-day gift.<br /><br />p.s. the deleted comment is from me because I accidentally posted as anonymous, still working on this tech stuff!Cerrissa Kimhttp://cerrissakim.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808832573211319495.post-51817916183333979552012-11-16T13:03:13.747-08:002012-11-16T13:03:13.747-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679708349219833992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808832573211319495.post-9083644734783505082012-11-15T20:02:48.675-08:002012-11-15T20:02:48.675-08:00Dear Seré - Plume done good!

I have a Buddha in my backyard. He's wearing a little plastic Oakland A's cap that once served as a vessel for ice cream at the ball park. It's an homage to my father and the memories we created going to games together. I look forward to peeking in here for your wisdom and wit. I have just finished my first draft of The Grace of Kimchi. I am thrilled to have gotten this far but I do realize the next draft is probably going to be even harder to get through. Sorry to sound so cliche but it is such a labor of love and I am so grateful to have this opportunity to stay home and just write that I am trying to enjoy all of it, even those days when it's tough to get the words on the page.<br />Look forward to learning more about Nadia, Kache and Aunt Snag. Even the names are intriguing.<br />CerrissaCerrissa Kimhttp://www.cerrissakim.comnoreply@blogger.com
